I posted the following board report. Please let me know if you have any
suggested changes by Tuesday, May 7th.
## Description:
Impala is a high-performance distributed SQL engine.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity and health report:
The previous three months had 237 patches to the master branch, while
this three-month period had 286. This is likely the recovery from the
usual seasonal dip around the end of each calendar year.
Prominent work in the last three months includes:
- An admission controller debugging page
- Thousands of lines of new planner tests
- A number of improvements to the shell scripts used to build and to
start the various daemons
- A few patches that reduced the disk space needed for development by
tens of gigabytes
- Support for development on Ubuntu 18.04.
- Support for Apache Ranger and decoupling Apache Sentry
- Support for complex types in ORC files
- Better hardware detection
- Compatibility with Hive 3.x for data loading and the Metastore
- Numerous improvements to metrics and counters
- Continued work on supporting Docker in development environments and
in production
- Initial support for a timeless DATE type
Health is a subjective metric, but the increased compatibility with
other open source and Apache projects is a good sign, as is the nine
new patch authors.
